NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 42 - TLT Return of the MILF

I’m in a bit of a panicked most unsure I have been so far this year!

Would you hold Turpin an extra week if the alternative is playing Stefano on the bench? He probably still scores better than Stefano you'd think?

Think the plan is looking like Moylan + Niu -> Walsh + Hampton which leaves 127k to upgrade Turpin next week.

Think I will just run 16. Already have 4 wfb, don’t want to trade another one in just for this round. If I was to buy Walsh he would probably only be in my team this week even if Pappy was still out next week.

Really confused by the CHT back early chat, even from the coach. A somewhat-definite 12 weeks is now maybe 8. Crazy.

Fwiw I'm still gonna get Walsh regardless, the drums are beating for Fus and Maumalo, it's just a matter of time. We're also currently not flush with backline cover as it is, so I think Walsh would now be first cab off the rank for any injury in the backline regardless of position

Teddy confirmed out means WFB confirmed in for me

If not Walsh, then I'll take a trip to the Hamptons.

No one in action tonight, so relaxed time until tomorrow. Only decision is who to VC in case of Cleary emergency (After 4 seconds of thought I put it on Fifita)

You do realise that it's only make believe dude!

Just pick the trade combo that suits your team (not what anyone else reckons is the best option). Sometimes you have to miss out on the shiny thing to put together a solid option. Check what sort of team you can field this week and then make changes to maximise points and money making. Don't get overly hung up on Rd 13 and just because you have 2 trades doesn't mean you have to trade.

Roberts has been shit but if you have to play him this week it's not the end of the world, lots of other people (including me) are in the same situation.

Edit: It's like deja vu all over again

It's not a bad idea to run 16 than to carry to many WFB. Unless a legitimate case for a final WFB to come in or a genuine cow.

Really confused now too. Have Teddy, Papz, Laurie & Oates as my 4 wfb atm. Also have Peachey, Roberts & Momi as my 3 CTRs.

Could easily go Kenny/SOS to a WFB cow like Aekins, Walsh etc or mid-tier player like Nof or Dufty.

Would be interesting to see what others are doing in a similar situation? Leaning towards going just 1 trade, bringing a cheap option in and saving trades and money to get Koroisau and whoever else I want next week.

Donkey fans, what’s the go on gamble? Likely kicking and letting Milf run?

Need some help guys I am super torn:

I cannot decide between Curran, CHN and/or TPJ, Liddle will be my trade out and I have $211k ITB.

Current team is

Brailey
Watto Uto Alvaro
Shuster Fifi
Moses Cleary (c)
Peachy Bird
Teddy Hampton Laurie
Fogarty Crichton Simpkin Walker
Saab Papy Momo Liddle

and I have 24 trades left, would love some thoughts.

20+ and I'll take simo. If not, SOS to Walsh on the cards. Turps to Haas locked in.

surprised there's been zero talk on Aekins, 330k, high 30's average with no attacking stats and CNK out for a month and a half-odd, am i missing something?

Glad to see I’m not the only confused and torn one

Bellamy suggested he'll miss at least 2 more weeks.

That plus origin upcoming means he will be off the field a bunch in the next month or 2

Thanks didn’t catch that. Latest pod I heard sounded optimistic for next week

Do we know when CNK is back!?

There’s been a bit but other issues popping up. Hampton same price and dpp Walsh cheaper.

Different argument for someone like To’o mind

Where does he fit in a final 17? Appreciate great bang for buck in a bad position for week 13.

For me at the moment it’s: Papy Ponga Turbo
In that order

With Teddy easily priced as that WFB3 soon, so not writing him off

Thing is, keeping Pap, and getting Haas, I'll still need a downgrade. But I think I'd prefer Verrills over Walsh, so I do hope Simo goes 20+.

Trading in someone to score less than 40 for a month doesn't sound that appealing to me. Doesn't even play first bye round

Are we taking a Gamble? I've certainly thought about it. A Broncos half though.... I'll give myself an uppercut.
